BCC - Hard fork preparations
In order to get your BCC, you need to set a BCC address for your account, you can do this starting right now. To set your BCC address, visit Your Account -> Settings -> BCC address on the far right. Make sure you save the address and double check it is correct. We suggest using addresses you control the private key to, but an exchange address works too.
Since there have been quite a few questions about what wallet to use and where to get a
BCC/BCH address, here's a few things to consider:
- Any wallet/address where you can access and export the
private keys works, as you can later import them into a BCC client
- Ideally, you'd create a new address/use an empty address to direct your BCC towards, in order to mitigate risks and avoid losing any BTC while claiming your BCC
- Currently available wallets are eg
BitcoinABC (full client),
BitcoinUnlimited (full client) or
Coinomi (light client, not fully confirmed yet).
- If you do not want to install any BCC software,
BTC.com will support the fork with their online wallet
- Users who want to directly claim their BCC to an exchange have up to 12 days to wait for their prefered exchange to list the fork and get a deposit address there to provide to CG
